Numbers from Pro Football Reference

Davis: 284 attempts, 29 sacks, 9.3% sack percentage (ranked 35th ie. dead last)

Hill: 99 attempts, 6 sacks, 5.7% sack percentage (ranked 17th)

The Rams defense is right now ranked 15th on sack percentage for the season, at 6.3%. But that is a season average. They improved. What about the last 5 games? If you extrapolate the numbers from those games, the Rams would be tied for 1st at 10.4%.

Here are the top 15 qbs (out of 35) and their ranking in terms of sack percentage.

I then give the number of sacks the Rams defense got against the qbs on this list the Rams played against. This too breaks in half. The first part of the season, it’s zero sacks; the latter part of the season, especially in the run against AFC west qbs, it’s 11 sacks in 3 games.

RANK PLAYER SCK%
1 Peyton Manning 2.7 … Rams sacked him 2 times
2 Nick Foles 2.8 … Rams sacked him 0 times
3 Tom Brady 3.2
4 Derek Carr 3.3 … Rams sacked him 6 times
5 Joe Flacco 3.6
6 Drew Brees 3.6
7 Andy Dalton 3.7
8 Kirk Cousins 3.8
9 Carson Palmer 3.9 … Rams sacked him 3 times
10 Drew Stanton 4.0 … Rams sacked him 0 times
11 Andrew Luck 4.1
12 Brian Hoyer 4.8
13 Mark Sanchez 4.9
14 Matt Ryan 4.9
15 Philip Rivers 5.3 … Rams sacked him 3 times

I will be surprised if Austin Davis
ever learns to
1) trust the pocket
and
2) make good-quick decisions.

I know he could get a little
better with more experience
but there’s some things
i dont think you can teach.
Who knows though.

I’d bring Hill back with
no hesitation, though.
I hope they can afford him
cause he’s gonna have good
numbers and a lot of teams
are gonna offer him good back-up money.

Agreed. I will be very surprised if Hill is not our #2 next year. They’ll pay him the market price for a good #2. (This would be a notable contrast with their response to Clemens’ year last season.)

Davis? I have trouble seeing his future for the reason you mention and others.

We need to draft a promising developmental guy this year. 1st round or, at the latest, the 2nd.

I guess the #1 will be Bradford. But damn, I do not trust that knee.

I would actually like to acquire a mid-career, mid-table FA QB. People say, “Sanchez (or the like) doesn’t do much for me.” OK. But there are unexciting but generally capable QBs who have had successful seasons who could provide us with better than what one expects from backups. That would be a good thing, even if it weren’t exciting.

Thing is, Hill is a bit of a ‘tweener. He is a shade better than the normal backup type. But I dunno if I see him as a true starter.

The whole issue is a real challenge. If we can’t trust Bradford’s health, then we really have very few good options. Gonna be tough to nget it right.

By virtue of the absurd ...

Yeah, Snisher is gonna have
to become a medical expert
over the offseason. The Rams
are gonna have to figure out
the science and algebra
on 2nd-ACL-injuries.
I imagine there will be
several doctors talkin
to the Rams this offseason.

You show the Rams going sack less against the Cardinals but they recorded three sacks that game. I think all of them were on Palmer. Remember it was
Barron’s sack that ended Palmer’s season.

You just had to go and cause trouble.

Okay, very well, I changed the numbers via edit.

Happy now?

Ready to live with the consequences?
